Bug ID: 70439
Summary: VisualEditor/WikiEditor: Consistent terminology
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General

The terminology between WikiEditor (aka "Advanced toolbar") and VisualEditor
MUST be consistent so people will not get confused.
For example in VisualEditor there is "Cite" menu, while in WikiEditor it is
called "Reference" (Cite options in enwiki is only a gadget). It is super
important, so we can guide new editors with same terminology. If you don't like
the old terminology in some cases - use new one, but fix the WikiEditor to use
it too.
[Longer story]
Today I participated in a workshop for new editors. We told the new editors
they should use either VE or classic wikitext, and gave them printed
instructions what to do, and they got confused of it...
[The first time ever for me to open terminology bug, yay :)]
Feature request: use also the same icons so people will get into VE easier, and
so we can write a shared help pages for both VE and Wikitext. [Again: Either
use WikiEditor icons in VE or use VE icons in Wikieditor]
